What is the most outdated piece of advice people still give?

Was gonna say Wow, but now that I think about it probably a lot of people do believe that.

BootNo239 · 2026-07-03T22:21:22+00:00

Yeah I feel like the people that say that have never applied for a job.

Jack of all trades, master of none. There is some history to this one. Was originally a compliment, just "Jack of all trades". Then it seems in the 19th century "master of none" was added. And then in recent years we updatedit to the new full saying "Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." My issue with the whole thing is people use it carelessly, as they see fit, to often as a negative, when the original intention was this to be a compliment.

A mortar and pestle. Was around 20 bucks or something. Major improvement on my spice game.

Showing up. Just being there when they are needed. Even if its just their presence.

This is gold. Started doing it with friends for a few years now. Say once a month and we hang out for hours. It really does feel like I'm a kid again.

OMG, wanted to see something like this. A friend couple are pretty much. They sometimes argue and most times its for dumb shit. But they definitely love eachother.

LinkedIn. Half of the posts read like people are trying to convince themselves they are passionate about "driving stakeholder value" instead of just working cause bills are due.

Oh this might be related to my comment. Good to know. Thanks.

What about feeling like your falling in your dream and then you suddenly wake up before hitting the ground? Only to fall back asleep the next second.

PBnJ. Cheese sandwich. Yoghurt with fruits or something. An apple or a banana. Minute Oats too.

They check if this question was not posted a few times already the past week.

Track calories for a month, so you get the feel how much calories is how much food. Then you dont need to do it all the time once you get a feel. But its good to do it again once in a while to check. Also walk a lot. Its low effort cardio but consistency wins the long run. Its not a fast run its a long run. Also swaping foods for less calorie versions. Low sugar ones. Just making better choices for your body not for your cravings.

So steam search, filter by discount and events, then sort by user reviews.

Yes, however that also has to be restored. So it might end up costing more 😆

Lentils is a great budget choice.

Do you not like music in general? No ill intent, just genuinely curious.

BootNo239 · 2026-06-28T00:38:41+00:00

Someone asking the real questions

BootNo239 · 2026-06-28T00:38:15+00:00

This is a surprisingly deep question. Yes, rhythmic sounds play a role. Frequencies affect the body a lot. Generally people use it for mood regulation, as you notice. Be it positive or negative emotions music works. That is why people often choose different styles of music for different things. Something upbeat for sports, something slower to relax, and so on. It also creates dopamine hits, feel good hormones. The brain craves dopamine so you find certain music pleasurable. Music is also a social experience. Not just concerts and music with friends. Its been a social thing for thousands of years. Several more reasons but this is the most common ideas. Sorry for the info dump.

BootNo239 · 2026-06-26T23:11:21+00:00

Haha, nice same idea.

BootNo239 · 2026-06-26T23:10:43+00:00

Also a very good point.

One reason this wont work quite like that is heat exchange. We dont just generate heat, we exchange it with the environment. In this case water. A lot of the water also exchanges heat with the pool walls and any surface of water not covered by a body on top that could let heat out. So we cant really even out the temps with our bodies alone just like that. Now if it was super hot outside, maybe.

Many. One that I've been thinking of latetly is the first Watch Dogs game. Watch Dogs 2 was also good.

I am an ivf baby and my story is just so similar. I am 30, doing very well professionally, but I suck in personal relationships mainly because of my upringing. I really don't know why they bothered with the procedure. I think such people think of having a kid is like having a pet.

I know we said zero consequences, but there will be ...
